So you've been accused of being a bad, incompetent, unsafe horse person?

Just like the world in general seems to be going way too far left and "PC", the horse world seems to be following suit at times.

Yes, horses are large animals. Yes, mostly everything that we do with them is dangerous. Yes, we could always do things safer.

NO, no one is perfect and everyone has done not so smart things with their horses. We are HUMAN! And gosh darnit, sometimes we want to do something and not be lectured about it (while yes, fully knowing how stupid said thing may be).

I propose we let off each other a little bit. Loosen up, calm down, and stop lecturing someone for seemingly WRAPPING A LEAD ROPE AROUND THEIR HAND!

Post your pictures here with explanations about how stupid this horse act was and let's all celebrate the fact that we aren't perfect but still know better!

I will begin in the next post as I have no shame and know exactly how good and not good of a horse person I am and don't need someone on the internet to tell me otherwise!

First, I don’t think I lectured Dona Worry about the lead rope. I thought I was doing a good thing, warning her about the person I knew who had a terrible accident. Plus I apologized to her and anyone else I offended.

Maybe this hullabaloo could have, should have, ended with my last post. Instead of several more all saying the same thing.

The end, at least from my perspective.

This has nothing to do with you. This is a completely different thread.

Not sure what's going on. Usually the situation gets complicated by people jumping on the bandwagon IMO.

If someone made a comment, was wrong and then apologized.. That's that and let it go.

If you're talking about that photo with Dona's mare, it sure looked like it was wrapped around her hand to me too. If you'd had your fingers nearly ripped off, you'd know why there were concerns.

I figure bringing it up again just kind of starts more of a hassle.

Is there too much arguing on the boards? Yeah, there is. Point is on the arguing, it may be justified, but looks terrible and we're a huge forum viewed by thousands.

So.. in this instance, I really didn't see anything wrong, only concern. Let's not make a huge deal out of it is what I figure. But, what do I know.
